Deployment on a Clustered Environment (Magic xpi 4.1)
The following sections provide recommendations and guidelines for deploying Magic xpi 4.x projects in a high-availability, clustered environment. All topics required to achieve a highly redundant, secure and scalable environment are covered.
These sections will describe the steps for installing and configuring a small-scale server cluster with three application servers, one database server, one front-end web server, and shared file system (SMB) storage, as illustrated in the following diagram:
The recommended deployment method is to install Magic xpi 4.x on each node that participates in the cluster (APP1, APP2, and APP3 in the example above), and to deploy the project metadata to a shared network folder. It is also recommended to deploy the internal database on a separate machine.
Out of the application servers, two machines should be allocated to serve as Lookup Service (LUS) servers. These two machines provide name resolution services for the cluster.
